Neighborhood Orgy - Chapter 59

 Ah, trouble, I thought as I looked at Yuu-kun, who had arrived late.

His face—it’s the face of a "man" now. My intuition tells me this kind of man is best left alone—like a sleeping god you don't want to wake.

"Are you feeling unwell?" I asked, keeping my tone casual, but he remained perfectly charming.

I know from my own experiences in my youth that when a boy learns about women—specifically, the wrong kind of women—it gives birth to a troublesome man like this.

A classmate of mine back in university was just like that. There was a boy who fell head over heels for me. I remember him being a cute boy, appearing much younger than I was. At that age, it’s unavoidable that girls are more experienced than boys, so I couldn't help but tease him.

If it were now, perhaps we could have built a different kind of relationship. But a connection that starts out out-of-sync usually stays that way until the end. If only I had been more honest... Haa... his family was wealthy, and thinking back on it now, he was a "prime property" just like Yuu-kun. What a shame.

Then one night, I was a bit drunk, so I called him. I told him I was out drinking and some guy was being persistent, so I wanted him to come get me. At the time, since I wouldn't give in to him, he had been seduced by another woman and was practically living with her—but I knew he still liked me.

Sure enough, he showed up, but his live-in girlfriend came along too. It didn't turn into a scene, though. As he and I talked while walking down by the river, she vanished before I even noticed.

Haa... I think I probably liked him too. But a man who has been "experienced" by a woman’s invitation always has a bit of a nasty edge to him. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Just like Yuu-kun.

That’s why, while we were walking side-by-side along that riverbank, I ended up saying something like, "In the end, a man can't do anything unless the woman allows it." I was so young back then.

But I no longer felt the urge to give Yuu-kun a "physical exam" like I did the other day. I’m truly worried, though—for the women around him. Because they are absolutely going to be seduced toward a terrible path.

Come to think of it, Ms. Mori has been acting strange lately; I wonder if she’s alright. And with Aoi-san transferring schools, things are getting chaotic around him.

I was just thinking that I needed to be careful myself when suddenly, Yuu-kun’s face was close to mine. Is he going to kiss me? I thought, and I closed my eyes.

I felt the sensation of his cool palm against my cheek. Then, his breath on my neck, followed by a touch like a playful nip on my nipple. I knew the muscles in my thighs had gone limp, yet Yuu-kun simply said, "Ms. Yoko, I’m happy you’re always looking out for me," and then he just walked away.

It's spring. Truly spring. He’s a demon of the spring season.
